Becky Meulemans
WALA would like to welcome one of its newest members, Becky Meulemans! Following high school, Becky graduated with an Associate Degree in the Paralegal program offered at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. After working for a law firm for two years, Becky accepted a paralegal position with the Outagamie County Corporation Counsel’s Office, where she has been for the last eighteen years. Recently, she was promoted to Office Manager/Paralegal.
One of the things that most interested Becky about becoming a WALA member is the online collaboration, believing “networking is a great opportunity to improve and learn from others.” In her spare time, Becky enjoys camping and spending time with her family.
If you run into Becky at an educational meeting or social event, please be sure to introduce yourself and get to know her. Once again, welcome Becky!
